Chapter 4
At the same, dark, late night, after the argument from Buldeo and Sanjay earlier, Buldeo rushed up to the house that he and his mates are staying at. They all sat at a table with drinks by their hands moving up and down to the mouths, all except Buldeo was hard still staring at the glass bottom while flipping his fingers in a rhythm like a wave. Riswan sat beside Buldeo and only notice that Buldeo was thinking of that jungle brat who humiliated him this afternoon.
Riswan moved his chair slightly towards Buldeo and whispered, "Have a drink, it's good for you" however Buldeo didn't answered still only in his same position, "Don't let that kid get to you."
"That kid is alright ruining things" Buldeo whispered in a dark tone, "I need you to do this straight away."
"Yes, I will, but…" Riswan said.
Buldeo violently knocked his glass bottle down to the hard, wooden table by his right hand to gripped tight on the top of Riswan's top. The others stopped and stare at what Buldeo is doing, Buldeo's death stare at Riswan and whispered, "You're not going to betray me too, are you?"
Riswan breathless answered, "Never, do what you must."
Slowly Buldeo let go of Riswan's top and moved back to his seat, then took out his smoking pipe and took in a deep breath of smoke inside of his mouth.
"Riswan, get some bullets for tomorrow" Buldeo instructed.
Riswan left the house and walked down into the middle of the village while a few of the people were sleeping. Suddenly, Riswan found Mowgli leaving Sahana's house and Mowgli noticed him in the dark corner of his eye. Riswan was angrily vexed at Mowgli from this afternoon, but he could feel Mowgli growling through his teeth. Riswan was being carefully about the boy because Mowgli leant how to fight and attack like an animal.
"Going anywhere?" Riswan asked clearly.
"Out" Mowgli said directly and his eyes stare at Riswan, making him shake his head a little.
"See you later, kid" Riswan said as he walks pass Mowgli and peacefully pat on his left shoulder.
Mowgli slowly turned his head to the left and watch for a second as Riswan walks away from him. Mowgli walks to the edge of the jungle then runs into the jungle. Unknowing to Mowgli, Riswan walks in silent for his flicking fingers of a little piece of hair. He moves his hand up to see close realising that there were two hairs, doesn't really matter as long as he got one. He carefully placed them in the top pocket in his shirt, leaving with a secretly, eerie smile on his face.
Mowgli left the man-village to join the night hunting with the wolf pack in the jungle. As all the creatures big and small were sleeping in their habitats during the jungle. Running fast through the quiet bushes underneath the still trees, as though Mowgli was the jungle wind.
There was a huge group of big, wild water buffalos eating in the large, green field. Unknowing to them, the great wolf pack hided themselves behind long, thick grasses, spited into three or four groups surrounding around the buffalos. Raksha was the alpha, the leader of the pack so she tells and goes with the first group to start the hurt. Once Raksha and the first go off and chased the buffalos, the next second group jumped out and chased the other, leading the buffalos rushing away in straight position. Still hiding in the tall grasses, the ambush group was waiting for the buffaloes to rush up towards them. Mowgli and his wolf siblings were in the ambush group, lowing down close to the ground. Mowgli's hands and the wolves' paws could feel the shaking stamped from the ground like a steady drum, Mowgli could feel the drumming was getting louder, and louder by the second meaning they were rushing closer. At that perfect moment of time, the ambush group lunched out and attack on the buffaloes, they lunched on them to the ground, Mowgli used his blade to kill them and the others by their claws and fangs. The other groups capture the other buffalos at the sides, they were capturing as much as they could.
After the night hunt, they all ate a few of the buffalos by sharing with each other, while they brought the other buffaloes back to Council Rock and kept them safe in a cave for emergencies. Mowgli walked along with his wolf siblings in a light path surrounded with straight, dark shadows underneath the trees, till he spotted a black panther laying underneath a shadowy tree. Mowgli decided to climb up to that tree where you can see the view of the whole Council Rock.
"Good hunting" Bagheera started.
"Thanks" Mowgli said, "What are you doing up?"
"Did by any chance, something happened between and that Buldeo?"
"No" Mowgli answered with a funny smile but saw that Bagheera made a serious look, he changed his answer a bit quieter, "Yeah, something happened."
"I told you not to go close to that man."
"I didn't, he just yelled at me, I just only laughed at his stories and…" Mowgli noticed Bagheera made a more serious and disgusted face. Mowgli added, "Which it's not nice at all, but he didn't need to range out at me and he threatened me and Kitty.
Bagheera said, "I don't blame for what you needed to do back there, just if he does this again, just keep away."
Mowgli nodded up and down as his answer, then he yawned a little, "I think I should go for some sleep now. Good night Bagheera."
Mowgli jumped off the tree and landed hard, walked slowly towards Raksha's cave for there he has slept there for many years by some of his wolf siblings. Bagheera whispered, "Good night man-cub."
As Mowgli walks towards the cave, he felt something strange, like there's something he has to do, not from the jungle or the village but both. He was thinking that Buldeo, but Mowgli had the littlest thought of him, he thought of Kittt but he always thought of her, it was something much more.
Mowgli entered the big cave quietly, so he doesn't want to wake up Raksha as she sleeps peacefully, and Akru and Grey by their ami. Mowgli slowly laid down on his back on the dark brown, rough ground of the cave. Unknowing that Raksha opened her eyes and first saw Mowgli was about to sleep with a dull face, she noticed that her eyes were troubled.
Raksha raised her head and whispered, "Mowgli, are you alright?"
Mowgli looked up and his eyes met with Raksha as he could tell form them that she is worried. Mowgli answered in a low tone, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"What happened?" Raksha asked.
"Just a little something happened, nothing bad" Mowgli answered.
"If something did happen" Raksha advice, "You know where and who to talk to."
Mowgli leaves a smile at Raksha before he goes to sleep with his hands holding underneath his head, and the same to Raksha resting her head gently on the ground. Raksha knew that Mowgli could take care for himself now, however for a different man-cub, to both animals and man, he will never know what consequences he may get in the future.
